Chapter 1178: Mu Xinghan’s Text Message
That night, Cheng Xia stayed awake the entire night. She stood on the balcony of the thirty-something floor, looking at the bustling world below, not understanding where things went wrong.
Clearly, both she and Su Yao started from the same point, yet why was Su Yao able to transform into another person while she remained a man’s plaything, traded day after day?
Cheng Yao, Cheng Xia, Su Yao, that’s the origin of this name.
Cheng Yao abandoned her own name over the years, barely surviving by gritting her teeth, driven not by anything else but the desire to personally witness Alex’s death and Su Wanxin’s death.
"Alex met this end because he deserved it." Cheng Yao’s lips flowed with a strange trace of blood, "And you? What must I do to make you understand the life we’ve had for these years, to make you understand how much pain the one who suffered endless harm on your behalf truly felt."
"What are you going to do?!" Su Wanxin suddenly stood up, a foreboding feeling rising in her heart.
"I want you to remember me, remember her, and never be able to forget in this lifetime."
Cheng Yao smiled, blood continuously flowing from her mouth. She stared at her like that, unmoving.
She died in front of her, using the most extreme method of suicide, biting her tongue to death right before her eyes.
Even if she couldn’t drag her down to hell together, she cursed her to live her life in the shadows of herself and Cheng Yao.
Su Wanxin didn’t know how she managed to walk out of that room, her whole body weak, legs trembling. Whenever she closed her eyes, the scene of Cheng Yao’s death appeared in her mind.
Cheng Yao died, just like that, leaving everyone caught off guard.
Su Wanxin had thought her end would be like Alex’s, regretting half her life in prison, but she didn’t give anyone the chance to watch, ending herself just like that.
Su Wanxin didn’t know what to say or do. She was immersed in profound sadness, spending several months like this, until Alex was finally charged after being deported, allowing her to slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
Late at night, the phone screen on the pillow suddenly lit up with a message from an unknown number.
Su Wanxin glanced at it twice, suddenly sitting up, causing Fu Shihan, who was about to sleep beside her, to startle and ask, "What’s wrong?"
"Mu Xinghan texted me."
He had been gone for months, during which time Su Wanxin kept trying to calm Mu Suyu’s mood, but he remained silent, not responding to phone calls, texts, or emails, leaving her inevitably anxious and uneasy.
Fu Shihan took her phone and looked at it, full of dissatisfaction. Due to the unfamiliar number without a saved name and the brief message.
[Hilltop Park, waiting for you for one hour.]
How did she just assume it was Mu Xinghan? Which park’s hilltop he didn’t know?
Reluctantly, Fu Shihan got up and dressed, never imagining a day would come when he’d escort his wife to meet another man in the dead of night.
Su Wanxin frantically dressed, found a small box to hold in her hand, and then followed Fu Shihan out the door.
The park hilltop he mentioned should be where he took her when she was unhappy to learn about Fu Shihan and Sheng Qian’s engagement that day, to drink. Though several years had passed, Su Wanxin remembered it clearly.
One hour, exactly just right. Su Wanxin left Fu Shihan down the hill, ran to the top in one breath, and saw from afar the man sitting on the bench, head tilted to the sky with a beer in hand.
